Winter Storm Finn and the One-Eyed Snowball Juggler!

Holy horizontal, heavy, wet, driving snow. At least you could make great snowballs for juggling! I got up around 4 in the morning to shovel. Sena came out a little later and we took shifts a couple of times. I still had to run back out again in the mid-afternoon to clear away what’s probably going to turn out to be better than a foot of snow.

The plows plugged our driveways whenever they felt like it. But we took a break so I could make the best snowballs ever and juggled them. I wore a balaclava which got all twisted on my head so that I ended up able to see out of just my right eye—the one I had surgery on for a torn retina.

I don’t know how I saw well enough to juggle.

  1. Envious Jim – so far up here in Minnesota I have only shoveled about 4 inches total over 3 sessions. That despite only about 4 hours of sunlight in the past month. Not liking this climate change.

    1. Envious? I’ve got pain in joints I didn’t know I had! We just got back in the house after shoveling all day since about 4 a.m. Hope you don’t get it this bad when you do get snow. Hope all is well!
